Recently I was made part of the staff on Doctor Who fansite, Outpost Skaro. As a result, one of the things I’ll be doing on the site is posting up reviews from time-to-time of various Doctor Who and sci-fi bits and pieces (so largely what I do here, but with probably less Green Lantern).
So in [...]
This year was always going to be a big deal for Doctor Who. RTD had been show runner since it came back, and David Tennant was an amazingly successful Doctor. So the prospect of a new series, with a new show runner, a new vision and a new Doctor was a daunting one. Would audiences [...]
So, last we saw, Rory was an Auton, Amy had been shot (by Rory), The Doctor had been locked in the Pandorica by pretty much every alien ever and River was trapped in the TARDIS as it exploded, destroying pretty much everything. The big question being, how the heck do they get out of this [...]
After last week’s fairly heavy piece, this week brought us a lighter-hearted episode, as the Doctor finds himself stuck on Earth, living as a lodger in a house where the upstairs has something in it that causes people to vanish, and blocks the TARDIS from landing.
This was a really enjoyable episode. Played mainly for laughs, [...]
Out of all the episodes in the series, this is probably the episode that had garnered a lot of the publicity prior to the actual series starting. And that’s because of its high-profile writer, Richard Curtis.
The second “celebrity historical” of the year, finds the Doctor and Amy discovering a monster in one of Vincent Van [...]
Returning monsters seem to be a bit of a theme in this series of Doctor Who, with the Daleks and Weeping Angels having already made appearances, and the Cybermen having been trailed for the series finale. However for this two-parter it was the return of a villain not seen since the 80s, in the [...]
With the mini-arc of Amy and Rory’s relationship raised in the previous episodes, this episode brings it square into focus.
The TARDIS crew are presented with two scenarios. In the first, its five years later. Rory and Amy have left the TARDIS and settled down to start a family when the Doctor drops back in for [...]
Following on from events in the last episode (how did I manage to not mention that hysterical and important scene when talking about that two-parter?), the action picks up at Rory’s stag do, where a giant cake is wheeled in, and out pops…the Doctor.
Its a great scene. Well played for laughs, as the Doctor, bumbling [...]
Oops. I’ve managed to get quite behind here. Must catchup before I get any further behind…
Anyway, so a much anticipated double episode, with Steven Moffat bringing back two of his own popular creations, River Song and the Weeping Angels.
Here’s the Doctor and River’s relationship has clearly progressed since Silence in the Library. It seems to [...]
After the stonking opening of the Eleventh Hour, could the new Doctor Who keep up that level of greatness?
Well for me the answer was yes.
With the new Doctor firmly established in The Eleventh Hour, focus with this episode switched slightly more towards Amy, allowing her to firmly earn her place in the TARDIS by piecing [...]
